Christopher
Edward Turner
Chris strives to create evocative images, modelled on nature:
imaginative threads of wild, untamed landscapes, often lonely
renderings of Ontario and Quebec. He continues to develop his
vivid and evocative style of landscape painting, capturing colourful
scenery from the Georgian Bay islands to the Gatineau hills.
Chris studied landscape painting with Bruce Heggtveit and other
local artists in the Ottawa area. For a period of time he was
pursuing other interests such as creative writing and studio recording.
After graduating from University of Waterloo in Honours Mathematics
and Computer Science, 1990, he backpacked and biked throughout
Europe and Asia before teaching computer programming courses in
Ottawa.
Having spent most of his life in the Gatineau hills and Simcoe
County, he has been fascinated with the raw, primal nature of
woods, creeks and shorelines.
Chris uses stiff brushes to paint, no medium or thinners; consequently
the paint is harder to control, yet the result is richer, and
somewhat more forward and moody.
